Generational School Board Strategies: Because It Is Still Entirely About People
Thursday, Nov. 16 at NoonAmerica’s six living generations experienced unique Formative Years, the K–12 years. The times and teachings of those years molded unique core values in each generation, and those core values guide their decisions as voters, parents, employees, legislators, donors, and fellow board members. The key is to understand each generation thoroughly enough to develop the “holy grail of human interaction,” a generational “gearbox” that enables board members to shift gears instantly and accurately—and successfully—when dealing with people from each generation. In his keynote and breakout session, generational pioneer Chuck Underwood will introduce Generational Strategies and show how each of the generations’ support and understanding are vital to the success of our local schools.
